UNSPSC 50365348: Canned or jarred rich may peaches

The variety of peaches known as rich may peaches that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365348 Canned or jarred rich may peaches (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned fruit products that state and local governments purchase primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, senior services, and veterans' homes. The code captures individual product lines within broader food-commodity procurement, though recent activity shows the work framed more often as generic "canned fruit" or "fruit applesauce" rather than peaches specifically. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, school districts, and county senior services; state procurement offices and county purchasing divisions manage most of the solicitations. The market is driven by institutional meal planning at fixed facilities with recurring, volume-based demand and strict compliance requirements — USDA commodity grading, FDA/USDA standards, shelf-life minimums, Buy American provisions where applicable, and delivery-to-site specifications.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026), each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with historical awards in the $21.83–$21.84 per-case range; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food-order RFPs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, June and August 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a $4.5 million maximum supplemental food IFB covering 210 line items including canned fruit for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bid due March 19, 2026); Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned goods for senior services (IWQ due October 19, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products covering 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB due May 4, 2026). Pricing is typically firm and fixed for the contract period with all transportation prepaid on FOB Destination terms, and awards go to the lowest responsive bidder or best value based on per-unit or per-case pricing. Vendors must carry $1–$2 million in commercial general liability insurance and comply with prevailing wage, state Prompt Payment Act, and record-retention requirements.
